Chaos

A small butterfly flapping its wings could, hypothetically, cause a typhoon… so goes butterfly chaos theory.
Well this butterfly seemed to chaos today
A-day that seemed to bring one thing after another when I wasn’t feeling up to dealing with things…
.. on top of which the whole fence along the side of garden being taken down, exposing us and two other gardens! Our neighbours have really got a ground force in! More lorries of gravel and sand, diggers…
I had to remind them of the pond very close to the fence!
Mind you, standing and surveying the exposed land made me wish for an acre of garden, till I was reminded about the work it would involve!
I was surprised to see this butterfly, considering the weather, and the noise and the army of workmen.
Making the most of a bit of sunshine and helping me focus on a thing of beauty when I was focusing on everything g but!
No wonder the neighbours gave gone away for the week!!!!!!

(Wildlife lovers are being asked to spend 15 minutes in a wood this week to chart the spread of the speckled wood (Pararge aegeria), Britain’s most successful butterfly.

The speckled wood is one of a handful of species that appear to be benefitting from climate change, recently colonising East Anglia, the Midlands and much of northern England, increasing in abundance by 84% over the past 40 years. The southern population has expanded northwards at an average of four miles a year since the 1970s.
